Speaker Time Text
elijah schaffer
Do you accept that I'm a woman if I say I am?
unidentified
You can say you're anything you want.
Like I just told you, I'm Wonder Woman, so.
elijah schaffer
Today I've decided that I am a black gay woman because it's 2018 and who are you to tell me what I can't be?
Let's see if people agree with that mode of truth and what they think about my new appearance.
What do you think about that?
It says I'm a black gay woman.
unidentified
You have the right to be whoever you want to be.
It's okay.
elijah schaffer
If you know this, I decided that I am a black gay woman because in the state of California, I can sort of identify as whatever I want.
Do you think that's good for our state and we should be allowed to identify as what we want?
unidentified
Yes, I do.
elijah schaffer
Why?
unidentified
Because you should be who you want to be.
elijah schaffer
Do you agree or disagree that I can be a black gay woman if I want to be?
unidentified
No, you can't be a gay woman.
elijah schaffer
Well, I mean, the state of California says I could be.
unidentified
I don't care if California says it.
I'm speaking from spirit to spirit, man to man.
You can't be gay if you wanted to be.
elijah schaffer
What's up?
So, how are you doing today?
unidentified
I'm well.
How are you?
elijah schaffer
I'm doing great.
What's your name?
unidentified
Pasquale.
elijah schaffer
Today I'm identifying as a black gay woman.
Do you accept that?
unidentified
I think it depends on the way that you can acknowledge what those all mean individually, like what it means to be black, what it means to be gay, what it means to be a woman.
And I think if you associate yourself with the culture and that you know what the culture stands for, that's okay.
But if you're just wearing it just for wearing it, that's kind of offensive.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, it's slightly offensive, right?
And so like as a black gay woman, would I be able to join the NAACP?
unidentified
After tanning for about a couple of years, keep straight.
Like don't even sleep.
Just sit under the sun.
When the sun rises, you are there.
When the sun sets, you're still there.
elijah schaffer
Like if I'm a man and I change myself in my mind to a woman, does that make me a woman?
unidentified
If you change, like if you get your penis cut off, is that what you're talking about?
Sure.
elijah schaffer
Well, no, they don't even need, you don't even have to actually get the surgery anymore.
They just said in your mind, if you declare that you are, then you are.
Is that true?
unidentified
No, that's not true.
It can't be that way.
elijah schaffer
All right, so you're in college and you're looking at me right now.
I mean, you have eyes, right?
You're not blind?
unidentified
No, no.
elijah schaffer
And you're accepting that I am a black gay woman.
unidentified
Yes.
elijah schaffer
Why?
unidentified
You said you wanted to be one, so I guess that's what you are.
elijah schaffer
Okay, so if I wanted to be a bicycle, would you agree that I'm a bicycle?
unidentified
I mean, I guess in my head, I wouldn't walk past you and think he's a bicycle.
But if you kept telling me you were a bicycle, I guess I would just, in my head, let you be a bicycle.
elijah schaffer
But the truth of the matter is I'm not wearing it just to wear it.
It's more like I just got kind of confused because I had seen some people that were transracial.
Have you heard about that?
And so there's this kind of like cross-crossing.
Can people be transracial?
Yeah, what's your sexual preference?
unidentified
I don't have one.
elijah schaffer
You don't have one?
unidentified
Trisexual.
elijah schaffer
Trisexual.
Is that a thing?
unidentified
You like that?
elijah schaffer
I've never even heard of it.
unidentified
I try everything until I like it.
elijah schaffer
Really?
I've never even heard of that one.
unidentified
I just made it up.
elijah schaffer
Do you consider yourself a straight man?
unidentified
I'm a straight man.
If you're a white gay guy, a black gay woman, whatever you are, I'm still going to be a straight man.
elijah schaffer
Right.
So then if I'm a woman, would you sleep with me?
unidentified
Nah, man.
Yeah, man.
elijah schaffer
You said I could be a woman.
unidentified
You can be a woman.
elijah schaffer
Don't you like women?
unidentified
I love women.
elijah schaffer
So why wouldn't you sleep with me?
unidentified
It's just too much hair on the chin, man.
elijah schaffer
If I shaved, would you?
unidentified
You got to shave forever.
elijah schaffer
Isn't that kind of like the interesting thing?
Like the kind of contradiction is we say, okay, you could be a woman, but then I like a woman, but I wouldn't sleep with you because I know secretly in my heart you're not a woman because you have a beard.
unidentified
There it is.
And balls.
Balls is a big part of it.
elijah schaffer
You know, because I have balls, I can't be a woman?
unidentified
Yeah, balls is bad.
elijah schaffer
That's what I'm saying.
Am I really a girl just because I want to be a girl?
unidentified
No.
You're not a girl because you don't want to be a girl.
elijah schaffer
And I'm not really black because I just want to be black.
But you just said that I am a black gay woman.
unidentified
You can't be that.
You can be whatever.
elijah schaffer
But who am I?
Am I it to me?
So am I it to me?
You're not.
In real life, I'm not a black gay woman.
unidentified
No, no.
elijah schaffer
But in fake life.
unidentified
I guess just no one wants to hurt your feelings, wife.
elijah schaffer
Which is like kind of not the way the real world works.
unidentified
It's not.
elijah schaffer
Who wants somebody and who wants to be a friend of somebody who you can't actually hurt their feelings?
unidentified
Yeah, that's been an issue in our friendship with our friend as well.
He gets his feelings hurt if he's not referred to.
elijah schaffer
What a wuss.
unidentified
Play the way he wants to be.
elijah schaffer
Right, which is which is being sort of like making the whole world revolve around you, which is what we have is a self-entitled generation where people not only want to live the life they want to live, they want to force you to accept it.
And I think that that's weird, right?
I mean, look, if you want to do what you want to do, that's fine, but why should I be allowed to accept, like, why do I have to accept it?
unidentified
Hold on one second.
Hey, Daryl.
Daryl.
elijah schaffer
He's on the bike.
unidentified
Yeah, Daryl, Daryl.
elijah schaffer
He has a good opinion on this?
unidentified
I want him to say something on this.
elijah schaffer
Daryl, Daryl, Daryl, Daryl, Daryl, Daryl, we got a good, Daryl's got the wisdom, yeah?
unidentified
No, I ain't got the wisdom.
I got the wisdom.
I'm just telling you what you're able to do and what you're unable to do.
elijah schaffer
There's actually a movement that's out that talks about men having periods.
unidentified
Well, there are some men that act like bitches.
Can I say that on your phone?
elijah schaffer
Yeah, this is the internet.
Who gets to decide whether I'm black or not?
unidentified
Someone who's black.
elijah schaffer
So a black person does?
But my roommate's black, and he's okay with it.
unidentified
Okay.
elijah schaffer
So does he speak for all black people?
unidentified
He's not, no.
elijah schaffer
So then who's the black spokesman?
unidentified
There's none.
elijah schaffer
Are you a girl or a boy?
unidentified
A girl.
elijah schaffer
You're born a girl?
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
Okay, so I was born a boy, but today I identify as a black gay woman.
Do you accept me for that?
unidentified
Yeah, why not?
elijah schaffer
I mean, because, like, what do I look like?
unidentified
Um, white and man, yeah.
elijah schaffer
Okay, but I said I'm a black gay woman, so is me saying I'm a black gay woman, does that, would you still accept me?
unidentified
Yeah.
Why not?
Like, I'm open mind, so I don't judge people.
Like, I'm gonna accept you.
Like, it doesn't matter for me, like, it's okay.
elijah schaffer
Do you disagree or agree that I can be a black gay woman?
unidentified
You can be anything you want.
elijah schaffer
Why?
unidentified
Because I said so.
elijah schaffer
And what is your opinion?
unidentified
And I think I'm wonder flipping woman, so there you go.
elijah schaffer
That's a pretty bold statement.
I like it.
I was gonna give you respect that.
I'll give you, oh, the Nux.
Good.
You don't leave me hanging.
Okay, great.
And so, so then the question is, I mean, as a black gay woman, can I join the NAACP because I identify as black?
unidentified
You'd have to ask them.
I'm a part of an organization called St. John's, and they give free health care, and they support transgenders.
elijah schaffer
What does it have to do with me being a self-identified woman?
unidentified
Well, it means that you like the same sex.
elijah schaffer
But if I'm a woman, but I still like women, am I a lesbian?
unidentified
I believe.
elijah schaffer
If I still like woman, and I am a woman, and I'm black, you have to accept that in the state of California.
Do you want to accept that?
unidentified
That's a tough question, but I believe that you are a lesbian if you like other women.
This is your mission in life, to prove them wrong.
So I'm going to sell you a dress real quick.
We're going to put you in some high heels.
You know, get you an Afro wig, and today you will be a gay black woman.
